Default JW speaker evo 2 low beam Flickering on when using High beam?

I installed the new JW speaker Evo 2 a few weeks ago. When pulling in garage tonight I saw some flickering. Left bike running and looked at it and the low beam was coming on and off when running the high beams. Once turned to low all looked fine? Any ideas, I thought when High beam is turned on low beam turns off. But right now seems to be not working right at all. Using Harley harness. Also only seems to happen when bike was running. I will test some more tomorrow I guess not sure if I need to warranty light or could it maybe be the harness.

The low says on with the high on the new LED's. Check you plugs, I had a bad plug on the Daymaker, and the hi and low were reversed. If that's not it the lights defective.

Well you have me thinking now for sure. I noticed when the high beams all 4 of the d shaped lights are on now. But didn't know the low was supposed to stay on. The low beam is the top one right? Maybe I have that wrong too. Thanks for response.

I just installed the evo 2 ,mine does not stay on. Low and high are independent of each other.

I don't have this light, but I seem to recall an anti-flicker device that JW sells specifically for this problem. Supposedly, it doesn't happen with every installation, but it's often enough for a known solution to exist.

Saw some anti flicker harnesses but all looked Jeep related. But they use a Canbus system too so maybe that is issue.

My low beam does not stay on with the high beam nor does it flicker ( high or low). Check your wiring and switch to make sure all is well.

They are independent, and should operate that way. When the high beam is on all 4 "D" rings illuminate.

I'll admit I don't have one of these. But I was checking them out and thought I saw in the demo that it did stay on. Sorry for the miss information.
